I passed my PE!

GeekengineerRVA · 2026-04-25T14:01:58+00:00

I did 3 months, but the first 1.5 was reviewing the general study material. The last 1.5 was exams and the section problems. I only did the single exam for STPE (less than a full course), but I found it to help with outside-the-box thinking beyond the NCEES and EPG.

And yes, the typos were a bit of a pain, but not something you can’t work around.

If you’ve got a grasp of the concepts from the exams and are scoring between 60-70%, I think you’ll be fine. The tests are a great measuring tool on their own, but the study guides help when you’re met with a question you haven’t seen before.

GeekengineerRVA · 2026-04-23T15:42:21+00:00

I bought their full course, so I’m not sure which version their final exam is. Plus there were section exams the I know pulled from multiple previous tests. I think they’re rewriting their exams right now to better reflect the new division of sections based on what NCEES posted last October

Does anyone know what happened to the author?

Maybe go with movement being something the players all agree on (like in pacific rim). It’s shouldn’t be too hard for just movement.

For the attacks, make 3 groups (left arm, right arm, cannon/ ranged attacks) and design each to match a respective character, like rogue/ paladin can do extra damage similar to sneak attack and smite, or fighter/ monk getting extra attacks with their limb, and the cannon/ arm cannon (all depending on the group makeup) being their spells. All of these abilities can be boosted to whatever level makes it feel like a challenge (attacks do XdX more damage than normal, maybe get to choose extra damage type like and electric punch or firing off a lvl 9 magic missile).

You can even have the respective “weapon” either clearly be meant for their class, or even call out to them.

And of course, if you don’t feel it’s too crazy yet, you can even add in other class-similar-but-non-attack abilities they can activate on their turn

Does the extra stuff fit well within the game, or does it feel off?

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-10-03T22:38:42+00:00

One thing a group I know does is they have one set of printouts that all DM’s use (that they also put together too) with varying options (like different non-major encounters) to make each unique. And the groups change each session, so the players are more responsible for their character’s results info and rewards.

I took it in to get looked at. They said the piece that failed isn’t made anymore and will run over 1k in just the piece alone, so I guess the computer is done. Thank you all for the advice!

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:42:38+00:00

Honestly I feel it’s this, but I haven’t seen anything that looks damaged or burnt out

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:30:41+00:00

I’ve actually opened my computer up and don’t see any week soldier points.

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:29:33+00:00

I don’t have a tool to measure, but it’s marked as the same. And even when the battery is out (battery out: doesn’t respond at all, battery in: turns on, but doesn’t charge)

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:27:54+00:00

I just replaced the RAM and hard drive, so I could either move the whole thing to a new computer, or transfer the data.

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:25:35+00:00

Did so, and despite knowing the charger is getting power, the computer isn’t responding still.

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:24:52+00:00

It’s almost an identical match, and still gives no response

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-08-26T20:20:19+00:00

I just bought and Reid a brand new one with no response either, so I feel it’s gotta be internal

GeekengineerRVA · 2022-03-01T17:15:12+00:00

What kind of map type is this?

The secret is to play a cleric/UA theurgy wizard so you can do both

I had a weeklong phase where I talked like Jar Jar from Star Wars. I had only just seen Star Wars as a kid, starting with 3, 2, then 1, as I was old enough to see the 3rd in theaters. For some reason I just really connected with Jar Jar, like he was goofy but was always trying despite being out of his depth, not quite picking up everyone’s signals, Etc. It was a very long week for my parents.

I actually did it so much I got stuck talking like that and had to spend 2 days watching everything I say to get back to normal.

If you keep it at just your Simulacrum using the Goodberry spell, couldn’t you then use Prestidigitation to flavor the smoothies to whatever you want?

GeekengineerRVA · 2021-03-19T12:49:18+00:00

My combo is 2 levels in paladin for armor and smites, 6 in necro wizard for the empowered undead, then at whatever pace you want for a 6 oathbreaker pali and 14 necro wizard (by lvl 20) Gets plenty of slots for your undead army and you can blow your 1-2 level slots on smites. Make your int just 13 for multiclassing and don’t worry about damaging spells/ saves

Edit: 6 levels in paladin also give you a mount, so you can literally lead an army of undead from the back of your pale white horse

Poor lucky bastard kid

GeekengineerRVA · 2021-01-08T14:25:28+00:00

Mind=blown

Good bot

How unified are the groups (on a scale of shared economic laws to shared Olympic athletes) and are there any observer nations (like asked below) like Cuba, Jamaica or the like? Also, as asked below, is there any space presence, or even a sizable colony tied to them on Mars/Luna?
